Also on genius...
Has anyone else noticed that David Lynch always features some incredibly hot sex scene in his movies? Usually it's the only thing in the movie that seems out of place. But I think he's on to something.
If you're going to be a genius, everyone has to know about you.
He puts something in each of his films that everyone can get, and that everyone remembers so that even people who don't like or understand his movies will remember at least that.
I was in After Dark last night talking to my friend who works there when a guy came in looking to rent a movie.
"Is this one any good?" he asked.
I read a little bit of the review, it got four Ns from Now magazine, and it seemed prety interesting. None of us were sold though until we hit the words "slutty french daughter." The three of us immediately agreed that it was the movie he should rent.
This is how and where our art is selected by our audience. We've got to make it exciting enough that it competes with Armageddon and Pirates of the Carribean.
David Lynch knows it, and look what it's done for him. When are you going to figure it out?
Or maybe you already have.
So when are you going to start doing it?
